The MB-3 is the tactical equivalent of the Japanese Dai-gusoku
(p.W:WW76). Not surprisingly, it is heavier and slower than it’s
counterpart, but more durable and better protected. One unusual feature
is that the smoke dischargers are mounted in the rear of the suit, to
be used when the MB-3 is retreating from an opponent it can’t deal with.
The battlesuit does 2d+1 thrust and 4d+2 swing damage (+2 if
“barehanded”). Body ST is 36. While there are no melee weapons designed
specifically for the MB-3 (the pilot tends to use pipes or branches as
clubs, if needed), there is a special version of the BAR (p.W96) for
use with the suit. The trigger, cocking handle and magazine catch are
enlarged and strengthened, while the trigger guard is removed. An ammo
belt with pouches for twelve magazines is typically issued with the gun.
The MB-3 uses 0.044 gallons per hour at routine usage (430 miles at
6 mph).
